We must comply with the Manual
for Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) standards. MUTCD
requires gate arms to be marked
with alternating red and white 16-
inch sections of reflective tape. We
use Type 2 Retro-reflective Medium
High Intensity, often referred to as
“super engineer grade.” Again, gate
arm visibility is not the major cause
of gate strikes, it is drivers not paying
attention
, speeding and failing to
brake in a timely manner.
